®About the American Chuck Wagon Association
In 1996 at a chuck wagon competition in Amarillo, Texas, a small group of Old West enthusiasts and wagon masters talked about an association. The mission would be to preserve the heritage of the chuck wagon and its use in the short, but significant, era of the cattle drives. In 1997, in Bryson, Texas, by-laws and articles of operation were adopted and the American Chuck Wagon Association was off and running. Today there are members in 31 states, Canada, Germany and Switzerland. Members participate in Cook off competitions, demonstrations, catering, charity events, school visits and many other activities to fulfill that original mission and even surpass the dreams of those organizers. Thank you for visiting our site and we hope you will visit us at one or more of our chuck wagon events.
American Chuck Wagon Association is happy to provide assistance to anyone wishing to put on a chuck wagon competition. We have compiled suggestions for successful cook offs; there are sample forms for food judging; youth competition forms and tally sheets to help you get started. If you have questions or would simply like to visit with someone about your plans, feel free to contact us through email or contactact one of the directors.
